BioGenesis - The Rise The Fall The Rebirth

Anyone heard this yet? Any good? Does Chaz still come around here?

I'm waiting on my copy to come in the mail

I listened to most of at work on Spotify the other day. I couldn't give it my full attention since I was at work, but it seemed solid.

It's about time. I totally forgot about the thread from all those years ago.

I really like it! More soloing

The songs are really good, but the production is terrible. It's a hard listen all the way through.

I took my time listening to this album over and over again.................and the verdict is I really like this album! I love Chaz's voice - it's in real good form here. It has some variety among the songs. Not going to do a proper review here but it is solid and worth the wait. Nice to have some solos on this album

samples?

Any I love how there is another band(?) that plays techno/electronic(?) music named BioGenesis bunched in with the real BG. Maybe one day Spotify will get it right

I'm with Metalh, the production hurts it. Just like the last couple of Jacob's Dream albums they really need to fix this.

First of all Id like to thank everyone for talking about this. Much to my shock and dissapointment, I have yet to find even "one" album review and its been out since August. I was hoping to see a little more interest than what Ive seen thus far.

As far as the production goes.....I dont really know what else to tell you guys other than the truth. The fact that this record even exists at all was a miricle from God. All of us are working husbands and fathers and we simply do not have the financial backing of a big label or any type of large empire. Therefore we simply do not have the money to pay a mega studio and or producer to make us sound like Killswitch Engage. We did the best we could with the little amount ofmoney we had and the little amount of producer skills as none of us are producers.

To be honest, I can definately say Ive heard worse. That being said, it kind of sadens me to a point that the tech side of things have become so huge that some of us cannot enjoy the songs for the sake of the songs. Sure Id love a huge production and if anyone has any ideas Im all ears for the next one. You put your heart and soul on those recordings and simply because of money some people will not get into it and that is hard for me to hear. Thanks again for all the comments and thank you all for the support.

The production isn't that bad. It's got a reverb-y sound, but it's decent enough.

I was one of the few that could get past the production of the last Jacob's Dream to thoroghly (sic) enjoy it. Production is just not something that bothers me like other people. I just found out about the album being out recently, if I hadn't been layed off, I would have ordered it.

We are already writing for a new Biorecord and will be hoping to find ways tomake it sound as good as possible.

Use Pro Tools. I'm sure there's people out there that can do what Andy Sneap does for half the cost.

Pro Tools is exactly what we recorded with as does JD.

I don't know who did the actual recording on the last album. Maybe you could bring in someone new to handle the production duties. Try asking Cliffy from the CMR for help or ideas.

Good idea, Cliffy does a good job.

Haven't heard it. Does it seem like a good follow up to the 1st album? Chaz is a good singer, but that bassist is a DINKUS! I'll still fight that anal wart!

I'd like to hear it though.

looks like we found a producer for the next album. Check out his work with a project i did with him..... www.reverbnation.com/letterstotheblind

My copy arrived. I'll be spinning it today!

I don't think it's a production issue... but an issue of mastering.... or lack there of....

I've been spinning cursory the last week or so trying to get a feel for it so I can review it...

Ill take that. By the time it was all finnished we were way behind schedual and quite frankly out of money. Hopefully the next one will be another step forward.
